It can save you a small amount of money (at some cost in your time), but only at the risk of not getting something you want at a slightly higher price you _were_ happy to pay. Pretty poor trade-off to me. Just snipe the most you’re willing to pay. ---

> [@Alessan](#): > > I suppose people are allowed to choose their cause and their targets. Not all Chechens believe in the same things and have the same priorities. Indeed. But a lot of people are jumping directly from the report that these guys were from somewhere near Chechnya, to the assumption that Chechen independence was their cause. I even saw somebody talking about “Islamic fundamentalists” in Chechnya, which is ridiculous, political causes aside. ---

I’ve never heard of any. All right, there _could_ be individuals with any inclination you like, in any country. But Caucasian Muslims are culturally much more akin to the sort of secular Muslims you find in Eastern Europe and Turkey, rather than the doctrinaire Arabic species. I’m really just saying, the supposed ethnic identity and/or origin of these guys is a long way from being any kind of explanation of their motives. ---

So it was Chechen Muslims. I’m not surprised. Those of you who stated you’d be surprised if it wasn’t a Tea Party type: Has this gotten you to think that _maybe_, just maybe you should keep an open mind and not jump to blame the them for everything? There was absolutely no reason to think that the bombing was any sort of tax protest. The Boston Marathon is a target that could attract anyone. I stand by my initial reaction to those of you who couldn’t imagine anyone else from being responsible other than the Tea Party based on such flimsy logic as it being Tax Day and Patriots Day. You are so far gone politically, that you automatically knee jerk to blame the Tea Party out of partisan blindness. You should give this some thought. Seriously. ---

There are no Islamic fundamentalists in Chechnya? Really, the Chechn war is one of those situations where what’s originally a pretty straight-up nationalist cause enlists allies that have a “greater” agenda. Of course, that has allowed Moscow to conveniently _attribute_ all separatist violence to “outsider” Islamic terrorists, but even a stopped clock is right a couple of times a day – and BTW if indeed they are of some Russian-subject nationality they just handed Mr. Putin a lovely present of an excuse (as if he needed one) to round up not just the usual suspects plus also whoever’s currently being merely inconvenient. Now hearing a report that one of them was born in Kygyzstan, the other one in the RF (though if Tamerlan was 26 y/o he would have been born while it was still the USSR).
